I can not find a selection of main blades at all.
Some places have one or two of the high cost CF.
Where are all the blades?
Is there any wood out there? :confused:

With the high RPMs and mass size of the mains on this heli, it is recommended for safety reasons to go with carbon fiber only. The popularity of this heli makes it hard to find main blades at this time. check some of the sponsored shops on this site for stock. I am not trying to sound like a plug for the stores listed on this site, but my personal experiences with the sponsored sites have been exceptional.
Thanks,
Ken

We'll be trying out another CF blade pretty soon, if it's good we'll have them, but for now these are what's availible.

i had them for a while waiting for the Align black and yellow carbon's to come in stock and had no probs with them but they are not in the same class as the Align stuff but if your only learning i think they are great but were a bit limited for me.

There was a thread I started several weeks ago, something like "blades 101" or something like that. I was trying to get some inside in blades. My last post has a link to a store that has the black and white CF in stock. If you really need the blades, look for the post, grat the site and phon number and call them. They ship fast. I got mine in about 3 days and only paid $6.00 for shipping.
